Buying Guide

What window treatments are best for spring?

In the spring, you need a light window treatment to make the most of the increased natural light. The texture of your window treatments can impact the way you perceive temperature in your home.

Heavy drapes typically reserved for the colder months are excellent for insulating and providing a cozy aesthetic, but in the spring, lightweight pastel-colored curtains can enhance your mood and add more natural light to your space.

Try investing in floral fabric curtains or yellow plaid curtains to create a dazzling sunny focal point in your living area. You can also choose soft neutrals in warm tones, such as beige, peach, or warm gray.

If you want lightweight curtains that still offer blackout properties to block streetlamps, try polyester or faux silk. For a gauzy, airy look, choose cotton, linen, or tulle.

You can also opt for some Roman blinds if you want to add a touch of luxury to your interior decor: these shades are easy to roll up whenever you want to bathe in the sun’s warmth.

When you’re choosing the curtain length, try investing in a longer option than you normally would. These elongated curtains brush the floor and billow in the light spring wind.

Will yellow plaid curtains block sunlight?

Sun-blocking properties depend on the weave and density of the curtain fabric rather than the color or design. Yellow plaid curtains can block most sunlight if they have a blackout lining, and are made from a heavy fabric, such as triple woven polyester. Some curtains are treated with a UV light- and heat-reflective coating to prevent the sun from penetrating the fabric.

Yellow plaid curtains made from 100% cotton, gauze, silk, or linen typically can’t block as much sunlight as heavier synthetic fabrics, making these style curtains more suitable for rooms such as the kitchen or laundry.

What rooms would yellow plaid curtains go best?

Yellow plaid curtains can go in almost any room. This is because yellow is a versatile, bright shade that goes with most decor. Yellow plaid curtains work great in bedrooms because they provide a sunny and positive atmosphere, and they also work in living rooms that embody a rustic and farmhouse charm. As well as these spaces, they can work well in country cottage kitchens, and they can be complementary to bathrooms, providing a cheery essence.

Whichever room you place your yellow plaid curtains in, they instantly perk up your space. Pair with soft, glowing lamps to emphasize the yellow shade and complement rustic furniture to exude a cozy, cottage-core vibe.
